Handbook of Ultrasonics and Sonochemistry

Abstract

Acoustic and hydrodynamic cavitations have proved a milestone as process intensification devices, especially in wastewater treatment processes. Generation of cavities and their subsequent collapse is a common principle of both types of cavitations by which chemical and physical changes take place. There are a number of potential challenges which are not yet resolved in developing a water treatment technology using hydrodynamic and acoustic cavitation. When it is compared with the conventional water treatment technique, the cavitational approach shows significant difference in treatment time required and degradation efficiency of organic pollutants. In this book chapter, current trends of developments of hybrid wastewater treatment processes using ultrasound and hydrodynamic cavitation are discussed with examples: hybrid system development using hydrogel, ultrasound and hydrodynamic cavitation for degradation of dyes, and hybrid wastewater treatment system for adsorption of phenol using nanoclay and ultrasound. Water treatment using doped photocatalytic materials/hydrodynamic cavitation is discussed. The scale-up issues specifically for the development of wastewater treatment system using cavitation technique for mixed dyes are also reported.
